# Taverner's Bible

Taverner's Bible, more correctly called The Most Sacred Bible whiche is the holy scripture, conteyning the old and new testament, translated into English, and newly recognized with great diligence after most faythful exemplars by Rychard Taverner, is a minor revision of Matthew's Bible edited by Richard Taverner and published in 1539. First editions of Taverner's Bible are extremely rare.

## History

The successful sale of Matthew's Bible, the private venture of the two printers Grafton and Whitchurch, was threatened by a rival edition published in 1539 in folio (Herbert #45) by "John Byddell for Thomas Barthlet" with Richard Taverner as editor. This was, in fact, what would now be called "piracy," being Grafton's Matthew Bible revised by Taverner, a learned member of the Inner Temple and famous Greek scholar. He made many alterations in the Matthew Bible, characterized by critical acumen and a happy choice of strong and idiomatic expressions.
His revision seems to have had little influence on subsequent translators, although a few phrases in the King James Bible can be traced to it. Daniell sums up its influence, "indeed a version which had no influence".
It was not reprinted in its entirety. Quarto and octavo editions of the New Testament alone were published in the same year as the original edition, and the Old Testament was reprinted as part of a Bible in 1551. The Old Testament and Apocrypha were also issued by Day and Seres in five sections (Herbert #81, #82, #86, #87, #94) between 1549 and 1551.

# William Blackmore (minister)

William Blackmore (24 June 1616 – ⁠1684) was an English ejected minister.

## Life

Blackmore was born on 24 June 1616, the second son of William Blackmore of London, a member of the Fishmongers' Company. His older brother, Sir John Blackmore, knight, was in the confidence of Oliver Cromwell, and became governor of St Helena after the Restoration. William was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and Lincoln College, Oxford. He graduated with his BA in 1638 and his MA in 1641, although he is not mentioned by Anthony Wood.
Having been ordained deacon he was appointed in December 1645 to the rectory of Pentlow, Essex, sequestered from Edward Alston. On 1 September 1646 his resignation of Pentloe was accepted by the Committee for Plundered Ministers, and he moved to London, and became curate to Thomas Coleman ('Rabbi' Coleman, who died March 1647) at St Peter's, Cornhill. He was ordained presbyter by the Fourth London Classis on 20 April 1647, but did not take the covenant, and was duly presented to the rectory of St Peter's by the corporation of London on 13 May 1656, after the death in 1655 of William Fairfax, D.D., sequestered in August 1643.
On 1 December 1646 the London presbyterians published a defence of their system, Jus Divinum Regiminis Ecclesiastici; or the Divine Right of Church Government of which Blackmore wrote the part relating to ordination. William Maxwell Hetherington (History of the Westminster Assembly p. 288) describes the book as 'the most complete and able defence of presbyterian church government that has yet appeared.' In 1648 Blackmore was one of the scribes to the London provincial assembly. He signed (probably on 20 January 1649) the presbyterian remonstrance to Oliver Cromwell on the meditated death of the king. He was one of the thirteen clergy arrested on a charge of complicity in Christopher Love's plot in 1651; having been freed through the influence of his brother Sir John, he rendered assistance to Love during his trial.
In 1662 Blackmore seceded with the nonconformists, and retired to Essex, where he lived on his ample means and gathered a small congregation. In April 1672 he was licensed as "a presbyterian teacher in his own house" in Hornchurch, near Romford. He died at Hare Street, a hamlet within a mile of Romford, in 1684, and was buried at Romford on 18 July.

## Family

He married (1) on 1 May 1660 Mary Chewning, from Leeds, Kent, who died in November 1678, and (2) before 1681, Sarah Luttrell, who survived him. His only son, Chewning Blackmore, born on 1 January 1663, was educated for the ministry at the Rev. John Woodhouse's academy, Sheriff Hales, near Shifnal, Shropshire, settled at Worcester in 1688 as assistant to Thomas Badland (ejected in 1663 from Willenhall, Staffordshire, and died 1689), and remained there till his death on 2 August 1737. He married in 1694 Abigail (died in April 1734), daughter of Edward Higgins, and left two sons: (1) Francis, presbyterian minister at Evesham (1728–30), Coventry (1730–42), and Worcester (1743–61), and (2) Edward Chewning, presbyterian minister at Stoke, near Malvern.

# William Martel

William Martel (fl. 1130–1153) was a steward of the royal households of King Henry I and King Stephen of England. He was castellan of Sherborne Castle until 1143.
Martel was of Norman descent. His grandfather and his uncle were sheriffs of Dorset in Norman England. Martel was a steward of Henry I's royal household from at least 1130. He attested to charters in both England and Normandy, which indicates that Martel regularly accompanied the king on both sides of the English Channel.
Martel was in Normandy with Henry's royal court throughout 1134 and 1135. After Henry's death, he was present at King Stephen's coronation in London on 22 December 1135.
Martel was one of Stephen's most dependable supporters throughout the civil war of 1136–1153, known as The Anarchy. He witnessed 181 charters for Stephen, demonstrating his frequent attendance in the king's entourage, although he received neither an earldom nor any significant estates from Stephen. He was, however, castellan of Sherborne Castle from at least 1141, and may have been castellan from as early as 1139 when the castle was surrendered to Stephen. Between 1141 and 1143, Martel was Stephen's regional military governor in north Dorset and Wiltshire, exercising authority on the king's behalf from Sherborne.
Martel continued to be active on Stephen's behalf after the king was captured at the Battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141. At the council of Winchester, 7–9 April 1141, Martel was one of a delegation of Stephen's supporters that petitioned for the king's release from prison. The delegation was dismissed and Martel was excommunicated by the Bishop of Winchester.
At the Battle of Wilton on 1 July 1143, when Stephen's forces were dispersed by those of Robert, Earl of Gloucester, William Martel led a determined rearguard action that allowed the king to escape. Martel was eventually surrounded and captured, and to secure his release Stephen surrendered Sherborne Castle to Robert of Gloucester. After the loss of Sherborne Castle, Martel continued to be a dominant character at King Stephen's court.
In 1147, the abbot of Abingdon sought ecclesiastical sanctions against Martel for attacks that he carried out against the monastery's estates.
In 1150, a joint meeting of the county courts of Norfolk and Suffolk, at Norwich, was presided over by William Martel as king's justice.
In August 1153, William Martel and other supporters of King Stephen laid waste to the area around Wallingford Castle in an attempt to isolate the army of Henry Plantagenet, who was challenging the king for the throne. Martel's forces were ambushed and routed by Henry's army as it attempted to break out from the blockade.
In November 1153, William Martel was one of the 37 witnesses to the Treaty of Westminster which concluded the war between King Stephen and Henry Plantagenet and laid the conditions for Henry's succession.
At Henry's first exchequer, William rendered account for Surrey for 1154–1155 but possibly not very well, for he then lost his position as sheriff.
# William McIntosh (politician)

William McIntosh was a soldier and politician from Massachusetts.
McIntosh born in Dedham, Massachusetts. He later moved to Needham in the mid-1760s. During the American Revolution, McIntosh served as a colonel in the 1st Suffolk Regiment. He saw action at Dorchester Heights, Castle Island, Fishkill, and at other battles in New York.
McIntosh served in a number of elected positions, including 12 years as a selectman in Needham between 1767 and 1792. In 1775, he was Needham's delegate to the Third Provincial Congress and between 1775 and 1783 served five one year terms as its representative to the Great and General Court.
When George Washington arrived in Needham following his election as president, McIntosh and a group of other townsmen greeted him at the town line. Washington is said to have greeted him by name. Martha Washington gave McIntosh a kerchief with the commander-in-chief's image upon it.
# William S. Baylor

William Smith Hanger Baylor (April 7, 1831 – August 30, 1862) was an American lawyer and soldier who served as a colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.
Before the war, Baylor commanded a militia company, the West Augusta Guard, which later became Company L of the 5th Virginia Infantry Regiment. In April 1862, he was appointed colonel of the regiment. Baylor assumed command of the Stonewall Brigade after the death of Brigadier General Charles S. Winder on August 9, 1862, at Cedar Mountain. Before his promotion to brigadier general could be confirmed, Baylor was killed in action on the afternoon of August 30, 1862, at Second Manassas after taking the colors of the 33rd Virginia Infantry and gallantly leading his brigade to the unfinished railroad in a charge against the Union V Corps. General William B. Taliaferro said, "No more exalted recognition of his worth and services can be uttered and no higher tribute can be paid him than to declare that he was worthy of the command of the Stonewall Brigade".
